What Type Of Vegetarian Are You

[Yusuf Evans]

Just wanted to see how many "true" vegetarians there are. Are you a full blown vegan, a lactate vegetarian(like me), or just a partial vegetarian.

 

[barefeetonholyground]

Vegan and proud. Don't think I can ever go back.

The option I picked was "incomplete vegetarian" since I will not eat mammals or poultry, but I will eat fish. I also abstain from products containing gelatin and I only eat organic seafood and dairy products that come from humane sources.

Lactate vegetarian here. I tried to go vegan once but didn't manage it properly. Wouldn't rule it out for the future though.

Vegan and proud. Don't think I can ever go back.

Good for you!

I'm a lacto-ovo vegetarian.
I don't drink milk and eat eggs straight up but I can eat things that have them cooked in it like bread and cheese. I stay away from it though, especially eggs. I eat absolutely no meat though, including fish..

fish are animals too..

[Jewellsmom]

Vegan here too!

Vegan here too!

Lacto-ovo vegetarian here

 

[tigercub]

lacto-ovo here, though I do plan on dropping the lacto part eventually...

I was waiting in line at a coffee shop recently and a man was asking the guy behind the counter if there was anything without meat in it in the snacks windows (pastries and sandwiches and such) apparently there wasn't, so I tapped the man on the hsoulder and directed him to a place in the food court nearby that did a good vegetarian pizza

I figure we vegetarians have to stick together and help each other out

Another Lacto-Ovo Vegetarian here I eat a very limited amount of dairy and eggs, but I do eat them.

I'm a strict vegetarian(I don't eat any animal products), and I strive in my life to be a true vegan(meaning I don't use animal products or support companies that exploit animals) but it's not always easy.
I'm glad that there's alot of vegetarians here though

Hey all! I just recently became Vegan too
This is my fifth day, and I'm loving it! I feel great
I'm losing some extra weight that I put on and I'm feeling really good!
I'm a complete Vegan. I don't eat any type of animal, but I don't see anything wrong with those that do eat meat. I just preferred this new way of eating and I'm very happy

Thanks for this thread !

 

[silscr]

So i voted VEGAN. !!

 

[silscr]

I've also been researching it online and talking with God to make sure I get my complete source of Vitamins, which I am. Veganism is GREAT! (well for me lol that is)

My Wife and I have been Vegan for over a year now with our thirteen year old Daughter joining us more recently. My blood pressure was quite high (168/113) so I originally cut out salt and started eating light when I had some really funky chicken. I thought, "there is something very wrong here", and looked it up online. First found out what they're doing with chickens these days, followed by the horrendous things that are being done to all meat (and other use) animals. Also reading about treating High blood pressure treatments I went vegetarian. Then after figuring out that dairy and eggs is bad too (and finding out what they do with dairy cows (both chemically and by inhumane treatment) I went Vegan. About a week later, after watching many videos and reading up, I watched the movie "Earthlings" (I felt like it was my duty to know) after watching it I knew I was Vegan permanently. My Wife went Vegan too, tho She couldn't watch it. A month later the BP was down to 120/79. Amazing. A couple months after that the police came to our home (at 2:45AM) to inform us that our Son had died. I really believe I would have had a heart attack right then if it hadn't been for the changes from the Vegan diet. The cool thing is, the Pastor's Wife at our Church knew we were Vegan and had the folks make us Vegan meals during this time (behind our backs, when asked we had said "no, we don't need food" because we didn't want to impose, having them try to make Vegan stuff etc.) These folks that a day earlier didn't know what a Vegan was, went online etc. found recipes and made us meals! An amazing blessing Now if I could get the people at work to quit, literally, picking on me because of being Vegan things would be better.
God Bless!

I don't know if I qualify as an incomplete vegetarian. I'm just a preson who trys to avoid meat and diary/eggs as much as possible. My boyfriend stopped eating all meat after New Years, except for fish.

I started out 100% vegan for the first few months.. Then I got very ill partially due to stress and others had to get food for me.. I ended up eating a lot of stuff made with milk and egg ingredients. I figured I had to stop stressing myself out so much and got a bit relaxed when it comes to eating things with trace ingredients in them.. I still don't blatantly eat eggs or milk, and I will avoid such ingredients when given the choice, but have given up on being perfect. Sometimes it's like, "Why am I killing myself just because the dumb manufacturers put a little egg in it? It wasn't my idea." But I don't know.. maybe later I'll shapen up again. It is gnawing at me, since every time I think of milk I'm reminded of how they rape the cow. It's just disgusting to me.

I am a Vegan. I eat absolutely no animal products and no dairy products either. I even go so far as to not eat products such as honey.

 

[Penumbra]

I'm a lacto vegetarian. I was a vegan before college and I plan on going completely vegan again when I graduate college in a year.

Right now, I'm financially dependent on my school's meal point system, which means most of my diet needs to come from options that the school supplies, and sadly, there has not been enough for me to go vegan without being sick. I went down to an unhealthy weight before I decided I realistically should eat some dairy products occasionally for the time being until I am in complete control of my diet again. I'm sure it is somehow possible I could maintain veganism, but I don't have the time available to carefully make sure I get everything I need with these limited resources.

I've been eating more Vegan style, drinking my soy milk etc, but every once a while I like to eat my outdoors grilled steak
